A_COMM_SURPRESS
F_COMM_SURPRESS
|
Sets whether COMM alarms are suppressed for this block.
When selected, this option separates the original
alarm condition from the COMM alarm, and returns the block to the same
state as it was prior to a COMM alarm. For example, if prior to the COMM
alarm, the AA block was an active alarm but already acknowledged, that
is the state it should return to after communication is restored.
If disabled, AA blocks handle one alarm at a time.
As a result, it is possible that acknowledgement of a COMM alarm could
cause the ACK bit in the PLC to be written, and the original alarm condition,
if already acknowledged, could re-alarm.
|
Enable (1) or Disable (0).
|
|
A_CTK_PERSIST
F_CTK_PERSIST
|
Sets whether blocks allow write attempts to the contact(s)
with every scan, even if the value being written is unchanged.
When disabled, the AA block only attempts to write
to the defined contact tag when a value has changed and it needs to be
written to the PLC. The write is a one-time attempt, so if it fails, the
write will not be retried until the block needs to write a new value.
NOTE: There
are four modes for the contacts - “Acknowledge”, “Return”, “All Clear”,
and “Never” - that control when the contact is cleared. Since the contact
mode of “Never” does not reset the contact, the Continuous Output option
is not supported for this contact mode.
|
Enable (1) or Disable (0).
